Single-Sixer
Just took my new Single Six Convertible to the range today. What a fun gun to shoot. Good thing .22LR ammo is so cheap. Gun is heavy for a .22 but not bad. Shot a mix of CCI and Federal bulk pack. Both went bang every time. May have just been me but I thought I could tell the difference in the sound between the two. I'm definitely not going to win any speed loading contests but I managed. Actually didn't seem too much difference between this and my autoloader that I got rid of. Shot about the same amount in the same amount of time. Even put a few rounds of magnum downrange. Rangemaster noted that they were noticeably louder than the regular ones. One note, a round in one chamber in the magnum cylinder didn't want to seat properly at first. That went away after loading it up a few times. I can see this gun being a gateway gun to other SA's, possibly a Blackhawk, possibly in .45 Colt. Then again, maybe not. Yeah right.
My first single action was actually a crappy FIE E15 Buffalo Scout pot metal thing I paid $50 for new in the box. Now I've got a safe full of single actions that I love. Depends on the day which one's I take. My new favorite is my .44 spl blackhawk. One of my single sixes or my bearcat always comes along though.
